Regensburg Cathedral
Dom St. Peter
Bavaria's most important Gothic cathedral, with twin spires about 105 meters tall and a large collection of 13th- and 14th-century stained-glass windows.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1275. The main structure was largely completed around 1520, while the spires were added in the 19th century. Highlights inside include the medieval stained glass, the Smiling Angel sculpture, and the stone carving of the “Devil,” all worth a close look. Entry is free, with paid guided tours and a treasury museum available. The renowned Regensburger Domspatzen boys' choir usually sings at the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass, when the church is crowded, so arrive early to get a seat.
Opening hours
Approx. 06:30–19:00 (until 17:00 in winter)
